the thing about becoming mainstream, there's good and there's bad.
good because options will start to appear, (tonnes actually), kepcaps, switches, boards, cables, what not. these I think will be good because they are eventually targeted at high end users, I believe quality of products will go up, to differentiate themselves from the current ones, the only way to that is to make them better, (maybe I can finally get a set of dolch keycaps for a decent price).
bad maybe because every mother's son will be using a mech kb, though that might not be ideal for early adopters, it will be able to be used "tell" if you just jumped on the bandwagon, or "have been in it for awhile". so bad might not be that bad afterall.
just what I think and feel. I'm sure there'll be people who think different, but I think we are all here to share and learn!
